VA – Running The Voodoo Down Vol 2. Another comp of psych-influenced soul & jazz. For some reason, I prefer this to the first one. Certainly good for people like me who don’t know their John Coltrane from their Sonny Sharrock, but are too old to admit it.

The Nightingales – Perish The Thought

Keto – Blackened Pool

BEAK> – >>>

Kikagaku Moyo – Masana Temples

Earthling Society – MO - The Demon

Evil Blizzard – The Worst Show On Earth

Hawkwind – Road To Utopia

Alex Crispin – Open Submission

48 Chairs – 70% Paranoid. Latest bit of bin digging goodness from Finders Keepers, obscure but rather good slice of funky post-punk/prog from the early ‘80s, kinda Wire meets Blue Orchids meets Talking Heads: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGHHTMHhr28

Popera Cosmic – Les Esclaves. Another FK re-release, French rock opera from 1969, some surprisingly groovy tracks herein: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BNYKnngV7g

Curved Air – Second Album. Rapidly becoming one of my favourite bands from the ‘70s progressive era.

The Vinyl Countdown: K is for…

King Of The Slums – Barbarous English Fayre. Now here’s a band who are grievously unsung. They were probably at their peak (and enjoying their 15 minutes of NME/MM-endorsed fame) when this compilation of early singles and new tracks was released in 1989, the flipside of the loved-up Madchester scene. The song titles are almost comically Morrissey-esque – ‘Simpering Blonde Bombshell’, ‘Venerate Me Utterly’, ‘Bedevilment’s Favourite Son’ etc – but the music positively seethes with small town violence and frustration, a distorted electric violin constantly needling away in the mix. Really, these guys were brilliant… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAr9M9yOUpE (and also recently reformed apparently)
